Age Differences

[Morden]

Now that the TV intellectuals have decided that everyone can only be in love with someone who is exactly the same age as them - 8 years difference is unacceptable and frankly disgusting - we have to do something about couples in which one partner is more attractive than the other; Of course, this is absolutely loathsome also.

If they are equally attractive when they get married and one partner ages badly, do you all think that the ugly one should be put down like a rabid dog, put in solitary confinement,  or merely assigned to an equally ugly partner?

After this we can make rules about equal educations and incomes and then move on to equal body weights.

After that, the same eyesight ratios?

Ain't love grand?

And, of course there are those couples where there is a height difference! Should the tall one have his or her legs shortened? Should the short one be made to walk on stilts. should they be forced to separate. Who do these people think they are walking around in broad daylight offending the prejudices of the small-minded and emotionally immature? On the other hand, we do provide them with a talking point other than football.

... Do we look disgusting?

You perhaps not but your sunglasses for sure

Should have gone to specsavers

Old men who married or have girl friend half of their ages. Look their wrinkle skin and impotent, imagine when they are naked with old body 

Skin hanging down with big belly , you have to make your younger couple ( close her eyes and unbreath ) to sleep with you.

Now, this filly knows of what she speaks.

Sounds like she's had lots and lots of experience!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thanks god I dont have any of those experiences. My Mr. has no gram fat with 61 kg , sportive and healty body with 8 years different. It was just only my imagination.

I`d hate to be an innocent in your court Judge .

Change your Nick it doesn`t fit.

who says people don't find it disgusting to see an old wrinkly man with a young women.? A lot of it depends on what the older person looks like, if they are in good shape & take care of their apperance then a largish age difference isn't instantly noticable but anything over 25years IMO is too much as it doesn't matter how trendy/well kept the older person is they always look their age next to someone young enough to be their child.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

If you are talking about how it LOOKS then do you find it disgusing when a wrinkly man is standing next to his daughter, or grand-daughter? Visually I would think the effect would be the same as if it was his wife.

If one keeps themselves nice and well rounded, one doesn't get wrinkles

Difference of race, age, income, one can always find issue with something. Why bother if it doesn't concern your own couple or household?

[RDN]

And how does she look in her uniform Matt? 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

She won't try it on, but she still has her old school uniform - she looks good in that

Picture, please :D

quit right orchis, An older man isn't for me but so many take offense when I say so. If they don't care about the age difference why should they be bothered by my opinion so much?

[mrbojangles]

Boo, you say earlier, that your hubby, is 5 years older than you. What is the cut off point of being older but not being older if you know what i mean

this is a personal prefernce, I don't care if it's an older women or an older man. In my first post I didn't mention gender but most seem to have assumed I was talking specifically about men. I wasn't. I dated a guy 20 years older than me when I was in my early 20's & apart from speaking the same languauge & living in the same area, we had little in common, he was in great shape & was a really nice man but he was too old for me & I was too young for him. If anyone thinks I wrong, what makes you think you are right? It's your own opinion just as this is mine.

Funny how age difference between couples is only an issue in the West. A non-issue in the rest of the world.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You got it, Sir Burr, exactly. The West is obsessed with age. An Australian mate of mine noted that as soon as he turned 40 he became invisible to women.

As for having things in common, I'm not sure what age has to do with it. My partner and I both like to read, travel, play with computers, putter in the garden and goof off. I don't think any of those interests are age-specific. (Granted, not many teenagers like to putter in the garden, but I think the rest of those interests are pretty age-neutral.)

Seriously though Boo. i wasn't having a pop. I was interested in your view. I missed the post about you saying "25 years" and only saw the one about your hubby being "5 years older". My Mrs is 10 years younger and i think we look OK together. I really do think it's each to their own but to be happy, i think external influences can hinder a relationship. However, these differ country by country. In LOS you see many older men and younger women and it's OK, in the west not so much. Mrs BoJ came here (UK) 5 weeks ago and she's fitted in extremely well and we haven't had the snide remarks (that i've seen). However, if i had have been 60 and her 20 i'm sure we would have.

I know u weren't having a pop mrboj

Up to the viewer...

If it is a Thai-Thai couple the guileless will think: Father and daughter; the other: Ae tao hua nguu!

Farang-Thai, where the Farang is older than the father of the bride: Not even worth one comment

Let's not kid ourselves. I am a 25 year old guy and every Thai/Laos girl I've met (and they'vew probably been honest as, being young, they know I won't be offended) has told me that the thought of kissing an old man repulses them. However, older guys are seen as being richer so they do it. It's life. Sorry to speak the truth.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

True True!!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

True enough, but your testing "sample" is rather limited.

How many Thai/Laos girls who are not prostitutes go around talking about their sexual preferences with foreigners?

In case you haven't figured it out yet, prostitutes don't usually have the luxury of choosing their customers, and young "handsome" men are notoriously cheap.

Maybe your friends should choose a different line of work.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

There are still young thai/laos women who are saying this . It just makes me laugh . I dont see non working girls with old men , i take that back attractive women with old men

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You ain't been looking, then!!!!!!!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

And you know thier last job right ? OK then they use them to get the Dowry and the house then say bye bye !

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You must have had a bad experience. Sorry about that.

NOPE IM NOT STUPID , after reading all the other post its just so common tahts what happens . whether they know it or not
